I can barely walk...help!?!

I can barely walk...help!?

About two months ago I was at the gym and turned around to walk away and something in the top of my foot popped. It hurt but I thought that I just twisted it a little and went on with my workout. I worked out many times since then and the pain spread from my ankle to my outter knee. The pain now radiates throughout my thigh, knee, shin, ankle and foot. I have tried ice, heat, elevation, alieve and staying off of it (for the past week) but nothing helps the pain. It's a dull burning pain that sometimes shoots up and down my leg. I can't bend my knee past a certain point and stairs are incredibly hard now (and I live on the 4th floor with no elevator...go figure). I have an appointment for an orthopedic surgeon but it's another 12 days away and I'm miserable. Anyone know what this could be and how to ease the pain until my appointment?

Thanks for the "get crutches stupid". So witty, so smart. I'm sure your parents are proud of you. Everyone else, thanks for the answers but I've tried all of that.

You need to get into to see a doctor right away. You could have a broken bone(s), nerve damage, muscle and tenden damage. Not going when you first injured was not very smart, I hope you learned that lesson. So either see if you can get into see a doctor or go to the ER and get it X-rayed RIGHT AWAY! Waiting to see the Ortho is not a good idea. Since it's Sunday I would actually go to the ER Tonight.


FORGET ALL THE ANSWERS to put heat and ice on it, it's well past the stage of those helping GO TO THE ER you have procrastinated enough. Your leg and foot from your symptoms and radiating pain is seriously injured, now get off your PC and goooooooooooooo lol
